Los Angeles Clippers front office leader Lawrence Frank lauded Russell Westbrook at the Summer League in Las Vegas. Nevertheless, Frank’s comments implied that the veteran guard would likely be playing for a different team next season.

“Russ is a tremendous f—ing player. Hall of Fame player. He’s one of one for what he’s accomplished. Last year was a different role than he’s ever played before,” Frank said. “Since the time he’s opted in and with PG leaving as well, we’ve kind of worked with his agent to see where there’s the best fit for Russ.

“But we got great respect for Russ. He did a terrific job while he was here and we’ll continue to work through his agent to see what the best next steps are.”
